WE'RE BUILDING A BETTER DALLAS
Better Builder | Better Dallas Campaigns
Dallas Interfaith Summit
Since early 2017, five Dallas congregations have passed policies committing their faith institutions to Better Builder standards on their next construction project.
"As people of faith who believe that every human being is created in the image of God, there is simply no excuse for supporting and maintaining conditions that cause construction workers' lives to be unnecessarily at risk and that don't pay them a living wage for their work. We are proud to be an early adopter of these standards and to commit ourselves to treat all those who work for us with the dignity and respect due every human being, because we are all children of God." -- First Community Church Dallas Rev. Manda Adams

Workers Defense Project is working with private developers and elected officials to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly by requiring higher wage and safety protections for men and women who build our buildings, roads, schools, highways, and bridges.
